whats the point of the repositories anyway?they dont even contain the best mods.seems like OP and a bunch of other faggots just cherrypicking their fav mods
>>499578809to act as a repositoryI also took the amk mod and made a patch for it so it woudl be less shit.

Shadow of Chernobyl did not age well visually fuck me
>>499587331it absolutely did with mods
>>499587549key word being mods
Been enjoying Gunslinger but is there a way to stop that constant vegetation pop-in from happening in some Pripyat areas? Even with all >>499583298maxed out the hills are still barren until I come close and then grass starts the pop-in.>>499587331It still shits on games like Alien Isolation in closed areas with full dynamic lighting. You're delusional.>>499583298What mod
>>499587903this is why I dont understand the soupcels.playing with tons of added content but no graphical improvements>the game looks finepure cope>>499588113the name that shall not be spoken
I feel like so many anomaly mods are half baked. Like the disguise system thing. I feel like it could be done on a faction by faction basis. A more relaxed faction like freedom or a faction that is more separated like loners would be easier to fool with a disguise, while strict by the book factions like military and duty would be harder to fool. Things like this add so much to world building, but it's like no one even cares to script such a thing.
>>499587549>>499586509
Is the stalker shadow of Chernobyl rebuild mod good? I want a graphical overhaul that doesn't change the core gameplay.
>>499590497visually seen way better onesjust try Radiophobia 3, it only changes the gunplay (for the better) and adds more items. it makes the game better in pretty much every way
>it's getting an updateyippie
>>499591438>the mod that is lauded as even worse than misery and analmemeWoooh boy!
>>499591514hated for trivializing the gameapplauded for its visuals
>>499591438>>499591712Just don't see how they are going to get it better than OGSR
>>499592040they will probably use all the same new shaders and texture packs and add their own twist to itI look forward to it cant lie
>>499590919doesn't it completely overhaul missions?
>>499592040also can you post some OGSR screens from ShoC
>people are afraid of making modpacks with mods behind paywallsWhy are everyone such pussies? What are they going to do, DMCA you for content they are stealing from other games and using STALKER assets? Just call the M$cops on them.
>>499591438Source?
>>499591712mehthe piss filter is a real turn off
>>499586509>>499591438fuck off pavel

>everyone comparing stalker 2 to falloutis this a good thing?
>>499593440>>499598397And they will spam your moddb page with false DMCAs and they will spam your google drive with false DMCAs and because they tend to live in some European shithole you can't even take any legal action against them for doing it.
>>499598406Fallout 1 and 2, hell yeah. Fallout (Bethesda) or Fallout Newtranny? No
>>499598397kill yourself grok
>>499599232schizo meds now
>>499591438Oh god. Why?
>>499603621So is this the asshole who is always telling people to play complete?
>>499599520irony
>>499604334Pavel is the guy that made complete, yes, and he takes credit for making STALKER a popular game series.
>>499603621>I made that post on the defunct steam forums over a decade ago>people are still posting this hereDamn I feel old.
>>499604827What a loser
>>499554937I hate how his shitty addon infested the IWP port. Fuck this fag with his unfunny Freedom quests
STALKER 2? More like STALKER POOPlease clap
>>499608447
>>499608447its kinda silly how you dont come across poo in stalkerlike theres no working plumbing for the most part right?and a bunch of wild animals/mutantsso you would imagine there would be a bunch of poo around, and yet, nothing.kinda silly oversight desu
>>499609379>he doesn't know
>>499592531no not really. it's vanilla quests.the gunplay is the big difference.
>>499609379Why do you think modding scene for stalker is so big?You can just put all your worst shits into anomaly
>>499609379We've been over this, all shits get thrown into the nearest Whirligig.
Hello everyone, thank you for helping me fix STCoP weapons pack 3.7. Anyways, The zone has fallen, millions must join Dolg.

>>499575504You, yes, you! Say something good about Clear Sky now!I'll start. It has the best controller in the franchise. It has the freaky SoC model with those twitching animations, while also having a melee attack like the CoP one. It also has the strongest effect on the player, making it the most lore accurate.
>>499619303yes
>>499619303Scar is canonically the most psy resistant one, so it makes the least amount of sense
>>499622718Maybe it was a particularly nasty one, or different psy radiation sources act differently on a human brain.
>>499603621why not? I am lowkey excited what he can cook up visually with all the new shaders and stuff.the gameplay stuff is whatever, you can edit it if necessary plus he likely learnt from his mistakes
>>499575504Alright, how the fuck do I install Prosector's Project? It's asking me to insert a fucking disc.
>>499633294Figured it out, for whatever reason the setup file no. 1 I needed was in the folder no. 3
Man, all these survival mods always have the same flaw you can't get around - you get wiped in a milisecond if you make the wrong step. It's just not that enjoyable.
>>499619303Red Forest and Swamp are the best maps in the game.
>>499603621Dr Pavel, I'm CIA.
>>499642069Game gets boring after so many years.There's Azazel and extraction modes to compensate for easy death.Alternative is power fantasy walking simulator.l, which gets old after so many years.Were all just waiting for a new game.Soon.
>>499642069wow so ur saying... diehard diffuculty isnt fun?complete enjoyers were right all along..
currently doing R3 but OGSR does look nice.I kinda prefer the more green look of it.which version do I need? is gunslinger implemented already? are there any other addons?
>>499653416The Gunslinger variant has shit balancing and a butchered arsenal. Play the legacy version instead. You can find it on the spreadsheet.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1TCXsd40p4mMpaS2NsVNYiA-hMRlXhwGUB7J77Thvnjg/htmlview
>>499654086didnt the anon in the other thread fix the balancing?
>>499654863What? The closest thing I saw was a guy making 9mm bullets not one tap everything there is in IWP
>>499587331This man tells lies.
>>499591438>OLR 3.0 turns out to be memery>STALKER 2 is actually on the verge of release>STALKER Complete is now getting a fucking updateWhat next? ABC Inferno gets an update? This is ludicrous.
>>499664189>STALKER Complete is now getting a fucking updatenobody cares

>>499665462I care, soupcel
>shoc aged poorly
>>499666987what mods?
>>499619303it has the best progress when it comes to equipment.it has the best graphics in the trilogy.it has the best dialogues, there's much more lore exposition in them than both in soc and cop.it has the best action scenes.
>>499666987>true stalkerThat's CS though
>>499667270Bottom right corner
>>499664189>What next?AMK 1.6
>>499672481>>499673358>>499674117>>>>thats vanilla soc
why is this guy posting pictures of a modded game calling it shoc?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09ALjXabvwgso many interesting mods in development. even if s2 will be mediocre and its modding very limited, there will still be tons of new stalkan stuff for years to enjoy.

Fuck realistic weapons. Where are my combat artifacts, weapons that use the energy of artifacts? BFG9000, laser rifles and all that
Will we see another Goonslinger update? I want to see all the vanilla guns from the vanilla game. and the Ak-103, it's my favorite kalashnikov.
>>499680138honestly it's weird that the entire series has only two accounts of weaponized artifacts
Hello Everyone I have an announcement.*AHEM* FROG MONOLITA! that is all.
>>499680138we got you covered, buddy
why are companions so shit? I never felt the urge to recruit random stalkers to "follow me". what's the point, they're either gonna die or loot my fucking loot.
>>499680458Take the guns from the IWP and port them to the Gunslinger. Thats all. Strifer won't do anything anymore
>>499680867>Strifer won't do anything anymorewhy? everyone loves the mod.
>>499681095Why then everyone donate only to grok?Yeah he will just take and start working as a config editor, performing primitive monkey work of a hype addon collector, instead of his favorite animating. You either make such a system so that the donations to the hyped assholes like gr*k are FAIRLY distributed among all the people who contributed their work, starting from the release of the CoP that is, 50% goes to the strifer, 15% goes to the screen space shaders manuel, 15% to alundaio from call of chernobyl/misery, 10% to anomaly team like thronex or meatchunk, 5% to openxray, 4% goes to the developers of graphics like inverno, the rest is divided between the grok and etc.
>>499675646Would legit be incredible.
>>499680458>>499680867>>>Strifer won't do anything anymoreare you just talking out of your ass?when and where did he say this?https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HWs21SylwtUGhvGNZ805l0H89_Fv5Ntg7MjlgtGPbNo
>>499664189>What nextS2 and Complete 1.5 is all we need.
>>499681947>Why then everyone donate only to grok?nobody with 2 braincells donates or should be donating to grok
>>499682105no, complete needs to be archived and laid to rest.
>>4996823951.5 might shape up to be the best looking Shoc mod and if he goes easy on the gameplay modifications it might become the perfect vanilla+ experience.who knows tho since it has been 4 months since he announced he is working on it and not a sign of life since.
>>499682976>1.5 might shape up to be the best looking Shoc modI don't know about that, man.
>>499684380>posts picture from 15 years ago
>>499684465What do you mean? The upload date is June 2024.https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-complete-2009/images/stalker-complete33#imagebox
>>499682047>last update 2022you showed him
>>499682047>last update: 16.09.2022Are you for real? You should check out the Gunslinger VK page. Strifer wrote something about his private life not letting him work more on this project. Other people, that work currently on IXRay, wanted to help out, but Strifer declined that offer without saying precisely why iirc
If i can't do stuff like this in S2 then its dead on arrival to me
>>499684853I showed your mom muh dik last night.
>>499684672oh.... yeah he updated all the images in june.I expected more, it just looks like a less colorful version of the original.>>499685318good news: you will still be able to commit sudoku with anomaly
>>499680138>tfw will never see anything crazy in stalker like a dude who has mastered the power of every artifact or a guy who inserted artifacts into his body to combine with them or artifact plasma swords or basically anything fun with artifactsArtifacts are the most undeveloped garbage in this series. 90% of them are just "ooh pretty rock" and only usable for making money by selling them to retards outside the zone. In game uses are all boring shit like stat sticks and even the ones that have lore (like compass helping forester and noah through anomaly fields and being linked to teleportation) they don't actually do anything for the player in game. It's so retarded.
>>499678240Why is your contrast and gamma so fucked you have pitch-black shadows in broad daylight, and the bright sunny areas are as dim as can be?
>>499680796>pushes you out of the way>opens fire against targets you cant even see and then runs off into the sunset>gets you trapped in narrow spaces>tell them to stealth but they keep turning on their headlamps anyways>steals your loot>runs in front of your automatic fire immediately failing your quest or giving you bad rep for killing them (and in worst case scenarios turning entire faction against you)>use them as a backpack for extra carry capacity and they immediately die on you>throw grenades or shoot rocket launchers killing themselves or you in the processThey truly are the companions of all time
>>499680138That either takes creativity, or involves stealing guns from other games. The latter means only slav soup mods will have them, because westerners for some reason care about copyright (unless it's le funny maymay like putting preschooler shows like teletubbies or thomas the tank engine in a mod, or amogus) and the western stalker community is purely srs bsnss milsim oper8or larp faggots who want 9001 AK variants and tricked out ARs only.
>>499686168you are not wrong. imagine if stalker was more rpg-esque and you could agument yourself with abilities from artifacts like deus ex or whatever
>>499681947No one donates to modmakers, retard. Mods are free.
>>499684380Why does this look like an S2 model from one of the butthurt leaks?
>>499685318These burners look so much better than the stalker 2 burners. Please tell me the footage we have of them is onlyplaceholder. It looks like they just overlayed 3 fire stripes from a guy fieri shirt on top of each other and then added bloom out of the ass.
>>499686141The ambience in this pic is amazing.
>>499686760Mods should be paid for, it's intellectual property.
>>499686168>could have a gravity gun using gravis as ammo>could have flamethrowers using fireballs as ammo>could grind up a thorn to make toxic ammo shells or blow darts or some shit that would inflict a poison that is like 4x bleeding damage and would help whittle down massive mutants or kill people even if your aim sucks>could have so many things and more>instead +4 rads, +3 endurance +2 bleed control "You rike?"
>>499686141>>499687112yeah I do like some of the new screens.
>>499687321of another company, that's why they can't be paid foreither live with it or go make your own game, retard
playing op 2.2, trying to leave agroprom underground from the entrance, not the exit, it leads to map out of bounds LMAO
>>499686141>good news: you will still be able to commit sudoku with anomalyBut instead you will just hear "HURR OOF" and cut to a black screen, not even seeing the anomaly that killed you and not seeing that your body fell into a gravitational anomaly and was ripped apart in a glorious bloody fashion.
>>499685291> wanted to help outWith what exactly? All missing weapons is animated in IWP on same level quality. IWP is extension of gunslinger, with the exception of a couple of weapons like the vintorez, where Roozban decided to make his own animation instead of the strifer one. In anything else weapons is used gunslinger animations. if you mean cop storyline as an important component of the gunslinger, then only work you should do is port cop story to iwp platform, or port iwp weapons to ixray platform, or port iwp to anomaly anthology, which already have ported cop story
>>499687404According to the ModDB comments those character models are ripped from the leaked STALKER 2 build.
>>499687351>>499686168My hope is since Gamma had some actual unique effect artifacts and the devs played Gamma, maybe we'll get some rare unique artifacts too in Stalker 2
I really hope S2 is GAMMA-inspired
>>499690024weak bait
>>499682976>1.5 might shape up to be the best looking Shoc modwhat in the hell is he going to do that others arent already done/doing?
>>499691006Not a bait
>>499684853hey retard, I wasn't pointing out the date, obviously the date is the same as the last update of gunslinger. no fuckign shit.I posted it so everyone can see the guns listand to ask what I asked.>>499685291thanksI don't use russian facebook
>>499685318
>>499690024I really only want unique rare artifacts like Gamma, everything else from Gamma doesn't fit base STALKER in my opinion and should only be added in Anomaly 2/Gamma 2 as mod features later.T. Newfag that freshly beat the trilogy and is currently playing a playthrough of Anomaly, then will play Gamma, then play as many older mods as possible until STALKER 2 release
>>499692214based, godspeed
>>499688554IWP is anything BUT an extension to gunslinger. Hell, I wouldnt even really compare both mods with each other. Id say that IWP is more of a vanilla weapon pack than gunslinger, which is not a bad thing. It might share some meshes and animations, but thats it. IWP lacks the following things:Visual gun upgradesLaser sights and lamps on gunsAdjustable night vision and scope crosshairExtended interaction with mutants and fire anomalies
>>499692214>unique rare artifacts like Gammaor like any other mod tha tdoes that besides gayma
>>499688554>or port iwp weapons to ixray platformwhy?
>>499688554>or port iwp weapons to ixray platformWill be probably done after the gunslinger and stcop port. Source: devs on their shitcord>>499693223Why not? IXRay is a good engine
>>499693018Got any cool examples?As I said I'm newfag so I wouldn't know if other mods did cool artifact things>>499692606I think STALKER in general is now my go to comfy games to just play, I've grown really attached to the Zone my wife thinks I'm weird for finding them comfy though because of me sperging about how neat they are she wants to get the trilogy on switch when it comes out on the 31st, here's hoping they aren't bad port wise.
>>499691150idk use all the available techs and bring them together more tastefully than other mods for example. i.e. with natural colors and lighting.the original did a pretty good job of that.its not gonna be depressionslop at least
>>499694169Mods by Jekan (Goldsphere etc), NLC
>>499694169>stalker>on the bing bing wahoo machineWhy not something stronger that doesn't run the risk of having to run at worse settings than the original pc versions?
>>499694169>>499695941Can you mod stalker on the switch? I wouldn't have thought so but handhelds have come a long way. The last one I used was a gameboy colour
>>499694202lol
>>499694169sgm, OP2.2, artefact addons for coc/anomaly
a mod that came out less than a year ago is one of the best looking stalker mods so yeah, its not like stalker mods solved graphics.
>>499693853according to?why is it better than current engines already widely used?
>>499696687.........
>>499694169You and your wife getting into STALKER together is incredibly wholesome, anon.
r3 is probably the best looking ShoC mod in terms of details and shading, the only downside is its a bit of a depressionslop
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS. the last part of Clear Sky is somehow even more of a slog than the end of SoC. And Strelok has a boss health bar and im using a gauss rifle?
>>499698832Yep that was my least favorite thing fellow newfag, I got lucky and after a few tries he glitched out of the map and auto died otherwise you gotta spam saves and reload earlier if you didn't do enough damage in time. I'm still mad that the ending is exactly the same as if you didn't shoot him and lost anyway. I mean technically SoC might not happen but still very unsatisfying ending for Scar
>>499698832>>499699481yep, widely regarded as the most lackluster part of clear sky. the ending
>>499695941She just likes playing stuff on her switch, though if the ports are particularly bad I'll probably set her up on my steam deck, which I used to beat the trilogy quite comfortably.
>>499697976Just started playing it after hearing conflicting opinions of it for a long while. Is there a way to make it look more like vanilla SoC in terms of vegetation and the bloom & lightning? Honestly I prefer the base OGSR look over this one, it's the classic SoC vibe but modernized a bit.
>>499699969>most lackluster part of clear skyWorst part of every stalker game so far has been the ending.
>>499699481I'm having a strong feeling of deja vu after reading this. Did you post a similar message in the last thread of am I schizzing out?
>>499700764it happens a bunch so I wouldnt be surprised if they're a different poster
>>499700472i looked into it, dont think so.only thing you can do is toy around with saturation and exposure in console. you can also force clear weather (just type weather and select clear).its kind of a shame because lighting and stuff are on such a high level
>>499699969I thought it was too scripted overall, like I couldnt kill the sniper, or the machine gunner I have to run up and let NPC's do it?Random helicopter boss with an hp bar?STRELOK HAS A MAGIC BARRIER QUICK USE THE GAUSS RIFLE WE JUST SPAWNED ON YOURandom Monolith just spawning on you.I like the idea of the setpieces but the execution was awful and felt bad, it was cool having clear sky fighting alongside me vs Monolith and it did feel dramatic.>>499700486Call of Pripyat's ending was a bit too uneventful compared to SoC and CS in my opinion.I think SoC had my favorite ending to playSid's reaction made me kek audiblyThink STALKER 2 with its further cinematic cutscenes will end up changing the STALKER ending curse?>>499700764Yeah I posted it when I beat CS last thread or so
>>49968653099% of everything that is wrong with companions in every fucking game where you have companions is that they don't have hard coded formations. No NPC that is following you into combat should be able to do anything but stay in his fucking place UNLESS told specifically to do otherwise. Games completely neglect this essential, most basic aspect of infantry combat because they think its hurr durr charging into a machinegun like in WW1 but formations and proper spacing is what makes organized combat work at the small squad level.In Stalker you'd really just need 4 formations>Wedge - For advancing into a dangerous place and covering all front and side angles>File/column - For moving through narrow and difficult spots, around anomalies and inside buildings>Line - For dead on engagements with all guns pointed forward and larger sideways spacing to get more angles into an enemy>Diamond/box - For defensive positions and numeric inferiorityThen you have specific orders to break up or reform>Advance together (Whole formation moves to fight, splits into 2 to suppress and advance at the same time)>Charge and flank (Squad splits up into teams of 2 or individually and tries to attack from different directions)>Retreat (Formation moves backwards while suppressing in turns)>Scatter (Fleeing wherever possible and taking cover)And combat stances>Avoid combat (Will shoot back if attacked only at attackers without leaving formation, taking cover if can't shoot back)>Stealth (Will select targets and avoid attacking until discovered or until player opens fire, using suppressed weapons or melee)>Defensive (Formation will face enemy and return fire/attack but will not advance)>Aggressive (Formation will face enemy and advance on them until they're dead or routing)
>>499697976>all the light colored objects on the left and the trees in the very far background on the right are all haloey and hazyWhy do people think this shit looks good? The zone isn't heaven. Why is it so bright and angelic?

>>499773265Awful PR move. The ones that were actually used for war are destroyed, and the ones that survived are being used to kidnap random dudes off the streets.
>>499770159rissian "citizens" "donated" enough money for a bunch of vehicles to be used by russian "conscription officers".
/pol/fags fuck off
>>499773616Imagine being a kid in ukraine who grew up playing stalker and you end up being shoved into one of these things and sent to die
>giving up on trying, and failing, to tortanic S2, they change tactics and start bringing up the ongoing warGo see a therapist and figure out why you're so invested in seeing a videogame fail.
STALKER 2 will be good solely because I want it to be now that I love these games having finally played them.The biggest curse to STALKER 2 will be the influx of my fellow newfags being annoying as fuck as you get STALKER 2 only supremacists followed by Anomaly 2/ Gamma 2 only supremacists coming out of the woodwork to insult the base SoC, CS, CoP trilogy.
>>499777393We have no idea how moddable S2 will be.
>>499777749It's unrealShould be pretty simple
>>499777749we do fucking know you retarded faggot.according to their recent interviews they plan to release an extensive modkit shortly after release that allows for everything from small mods to complete overhauls.
>>499777749The devs said they play Anomaly and Gamma and WANT mods at that tier to be made for STALKER 2.I'm gonna believe in them fighting hard to create tools to enable that regardless of doomposting.We're all gonna make it fellow STALKERs

What happened with MLR and Last_Dawn?
>>499777393>stalker 2 newfagsFrfr did you know there were older stalker games no capWhat were they like?Not bussin, just old and badly madeLameYeah they got really popular in 2016 because of this mod called gamma, inspired by Tarkov. Its mid but playable I guess, only thing about them worth trying...Why do all these boomers talk about soc so much?It was as old as they are, like pacman or Tetris, they just like it for nostalgia. I think they used to play it on their N64s.Hard pass
>>499779875>Game devs donated game branded vans to the military in their country>Bringing this up is taboo on the game general thread.
>Hard pass
>>499777903>>499777749Oh, it's simple alright. They're releasing full modding kits, so it's going to be moddable. Daily fucking reminder by the way: The original trilogy never had an official release of mod tools to the general public. An SDK was given to, and hoarded by, russian modder groups like AMK and kept out of the public view so their mods could get more attention.
>>499782331>posting a sjak to call someone else an oldfag

Isn't that exactly what we wanted? I feel like true, fully unrestricted A-Life that allows for complete roaming on a map this large would be an enormous, pointless clusterfuck.

>>499797008Now you're just being contrarian. I don't miss the days of half the mods using ARSEnal Overhaul and its godawful "every single gun in a category uses the exact same animation" setup, that OL2010 STG where all the animations are awful and play in slow motion for some reason, that infamous LMG reload that used to be posted every thread, nor those gun mods you see in old soups where they get so lazy they just drop the gun off screen so they don't have to animate anything.

>>499863715Thank you. Gamma might look like my go to choice, but I don't know if there is an addon or option that increases enemy patrols, especially non monsters (factions, Mercs, Soldiers,etc). That is what I want the most. If Gamma has that, excellent.
>>499865539There is a slider for stalker and mutant populations in Anomaly based modpacksGAMMA has a lot of autism, make sure to disable what you don't like in the mod organizer or through settings
im brown da ba dee da ba doo
>>499865856Gamma it is then. Thank you very much for your advice!
stalker 2 bros do we know if it will come with quick save or checkpoints. I can only play this game by save scumming. still love it
>>499815235kino
>>499860985Stason 6.05, a CoC fork with an incredible amount of content, reworked maps - such as Cordon merged with a cut map, or build Garbage which is 50% larger than release one. It has a bunch of weapons and a lot of new quests. It's a bit janky but the sheer amount of shit to do makes it worth it. Just don't forget to enable passage to every map without having to pay for safe paths, that feature is retarded.
>>499872101You will be able to quicksave everywhere outside of combat (maybe Emissions as well) and you get CoP style autosaves after completing some quests or reaching a milestone.
Stalker 2 will be just a Far Cry in post soviet setting. Mark my words and screen this post.

>>499919653no one's seething about one (1) developer mentioning that he plays a popular mod. not a word said about it being an inspiration though, and nothing that was shown so far implies that.>no muh hardcore survival elements>no item bloat>no brownslop>no craftingthey even cut mutant skinning, even though it was planned at first. plus they didn't ask grok to work with them, they asked some random vasyans kek

>>499919653Analmeme and, naturally, by extension gaymma are soups, faggot secondaryAlso some dev out of like 300 playing shit mod isn't a big deal, since its influence isn't even visible, but you know from where they actually took their inspiration in relevant amount with existing evidence of it seen both in leaks and promotional materials? Builds and cut content
>>499905382Should be around this area below the grove. A backpack on the ground in one of the bushes.Though, it only seems to spawn after you read the note telling its location from a dead stalker, so make sure you've done that.
denying that anomaly/gamma, the most played stalker mods ever, have had at least SOME influence on the development of stalker 2, is extremely delusional.whatever makes you sleep at night I guess
>>499921604That fugly hud could use a few more bars
First STALKER 2Then KCD 2
First STALKER 2Then STALKER 2 + Complete modTHEN KCD 2
>>499916792This but not sarcastic.New bar has been set.Copying the shooter mechanics from 2004 is trash.
>>499916792I fucking hate tarkov to the bone, but the guns are fine. Just keep the fucking dogshit tedium mechanics and snail movement of that game out of stalker and we good
>>499933971You can update the gunplay without making the rest of the game look like a discount Tarkov, you know?
how do you play S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?for me I usually bring justice and order to the zone either play as Military, or Dolg, I generally ignore loners, unless I need to interact with them to complete a Mission. I kill bandits, Svoboda, Monolith and mercs on sight, and try to assist the ecologists whenever I can.
>>499922468Honestly the way its worded he might as well be saying "I've played a ton of Anomaly and Gamma to find out what not to do in Stalker 2", which is actually something positive to hear because anyone who's played those will reach the point where the sandbox completely runs out of novelty and you realize just how serious the problems in those mods are. If he got 10 hours in i expect them to know you can't have item bloat and prohibitively complicated parts and tool system, you can't have toned down A-life spawns and movements, you can't have generic repeatable quests that don't really accomplish anything, you can't have an economy where artifacts don't really matter, etc.
>>499933971It should copy the gunplay from games that are in UE5 and work well for tactical and survival shooting like Ready or Not
>>499935487Okay.Tarkov has great gun modding, inventory, and health systems. Also their combat AI is gold.Recoil is shitMovement is mixed bag.I don't care for the aesthetic either. I also don't care for preview s2 aesthetic for ui. Modders fix.>>499940850It can be a mix of games, but I am worried by footage that devs have stayed far too close to og in mechanics, which by modern standards appear casual console stuff.
Hi. Its that time of the year again for me. Need my yearly fix of SHoC with AA2. Is there any newer more stable build of AA2 on like openxray or merged with gunslinger or some other dumb shit or is AA2 still the best mod ever and there is no need to try anything else? I await your responses.>>499933971>>499942315Kill yourself!
>>499920685>40ft>ftNah
>>499650804need the version of this with the door and the riflebeen searching the archive and can't find it
>>499944171>brownslop>best shoc mod
>>499944171>broken ass aa2yeah haha fun
>>499589958True Stalker looked great at times but it played like dogshit. The map stops being fun if you need to run across it for 20 times doing fetch quests.
>>499575504What's a telltale sign of a mod being irredeemable dogshit? For me it's >Mod used the Prezone/Predbanik map>Mod page has zero information about it>Mod has a heap of out of place models crammed in
Some good ai art about stalkan?
>>499950959>most quests are stash hunting>mod is heavily focused on crafting or menus>mod basically needs a guide to complete
>>499896314remove all the "vasyan" tier bullshit and yeah great>>4999509592&3 usuallyNew arsenal had predbannik and its good, though not beucase of the map
>>499950109yeah I read one review one it and I'm not even gonna play it. but it does have some nice visuals.not too cartoonish like the other anon said either. just a "good weather" mod.
What is the point of no return in SoC? I just arrived in Pripyat and met the stalker bros. I sorta rushed the main campaign but I still want to explore and do sidequests.
what are these things? I see them around pripyat, at first, I thought they were telephone booths, but I don't see a phone.
>>499959157Pripyat
>>499959157>>499961506More specifically once you enter the stadium at the top of the map (the corridor I circled puts you in a cutscene IIRC unless I'm thinking of a mod)
>>499959157CNPP. Anywhere up to that point, Prypiat included, you can still turn back and backtrack all the way to Cordon, but once you get to the power plant, there's no coming back.And yes, as >>499962169 said, mind that when you enter the stadium, a cutscene plays that automatically teleports you to the next map. If you want to avoid that, don't use the main entrance, and instead enter through one of the side entrances.
why you guys say shoc and not shofch or just soc
>>499950959>mod has graphical overhaul>its depressionslop or brownslop
gonna replay cls and caop to get ready for heoc
I'm gonna play this soon. Is vanilla fine for a first playthrough? What difficulty do you recommend?
>>499960930iirc they are booths made to "protect" you in the event a nuclear attack occurs

>>499789885>this terms is not an acronymyou stupid fuckin gamma fag. back to trooncord with you
>>499803628>north in CoPBasically just reused assets from SoC. Zaton and Jupiter are depressive slop for 90% of it's areas.
>>499804004I was on your side at first until you showed you are a retard who wants to vote for the vapid braindead cunt known as Kamala. I'm glad Trump dodged assassination TWICE, making Kamala do all this work has just showed that she has literally no platform besides empty platitudes and that she cannot publicly speak for shit.
i just realized the chernobyl track from cod4 is called shadow of chernobyl
>>499971126just use ZRP and pick out any addons in the installer/config that seem like something you'd want.
any soap mods for CoP besides SGM?
I'm slightly drunk and ready to stalkan.
>>499960930suicide booths
the beginning of call of pripyat filters me too much it’s so boring
>>499960930>>499976119That's an old metal kiosk for selling kvass, here's one of them IRL near the Prypiat river port. You can kind of make out the word "КBAC" on the top part.

>>499976119>>499980590yeha they went full propaganda on their people lol
>>499860985As much as I shat on IWP the last few threads, if you get it with the updated k_ap values, CotZ, up the stalker popuation to max setting, and get the AI action mod from Mahzra shit is pretty intense. Firefights all the time, they see you from super fucking far away as well. GAMMA AI in comparison is super slow and uneventful, barely moving around.This is what I use with some explanations>CotZ All the goodness of Doctor X's call of the zone, but with some retarded Rhon's shit (some of it is okay I guess)>Less is more1 use per item (with updated trader/weight values). IWP AI are like fucking loot goblins. Without this addon you will have like 800 medkit uses before leaving Cordon. >expanded beastiaryMakes the standard mutants a lot less bullet spongey>fifty shadesPlayer actions are worth less when it comes to the dynamic faction relations. Basically if you accidentally shot a teammate before having this mod, that entire faction would shit down your throat. Now it's more lenient.>action AIAI now runs/jogs instead of walks unless they are scripted to specifically walk. So now groups of stalkers are haulin ass to POIs. Also makes firefights a lot more fun as the AI will be running around like you and will bumrush you.>a bunch of visual shitjust pay no mind to it, set it up however you want>spamming grenade removedGet this, IWP is dogshit without it>weapon improvementsMakes it so stalkers have better aim, gets rid of movement and aim penalties (IWP likes to animation lock you a lot), faster scope in time, less lag to start sprinting, better scope zooms>outfit adjustmentsMakes outfits break less often. IWP for some reason your suit will be at like 70% after 2 dog bites. Firefights basically had your suit come out broken. This just makes it vanilla values>lower k_apIWP base could easily be played with just a makarov with how strong penetration values were and how bad armor was. This makes it so armor actually matters again

>>499980445I was going to say same kek>>499980590No. Above is now headcanon.
>>499575504I have a question on STALKER, specifically SoC. I finished it some years ago, and was playing it with AMK. I was thinking about it recently and recalled some memory of playing it. Here's my question:Upon entering Pripyat, I noticed that I tended to reload a lot because the snipers are situated in high, strategic areas and always get to pick me out without me knowing where they are until a few reloads in. (skill issue, i already know).. but how did you guys get around that? How did you guys know where to look without dying a bunch of times?tl;dr: pripyat in stalker, how to git gud at picking off snipers without dying a lot
>>499988919After dying the first time I found cover and hunkered down behind there until I could find out where the sniper was shooting from lol.
>>499988919>until a few reloads ineveryone does this is the asnwer

>ign group(podcast?) review of stalker 2>3 of the 4 admitted this is their first stalkergrimi
In vanilla COP, when I want to enter Yanov station, there are hostile bandits inside who want to fight me, the station closes and everyone inside becomes hostile. Is there a solution to this?
>>499988919>how did you guys get around that?Simple! I just ignore the exo dudes and go my own way most of the time. A suicide rush through an open space is not the best way to get around the city.>How did you guys know where to look without dying a bunch of times?The stalkers notify you every time enemy snipers appear by shouting something like "Gun flash, left side, roof!" or "Right, balcony and the window!", so you should have some time to react before getting sniped. In vanilla, that was more than enough to take them out, don't remember how bad it is in AMK.
>>500014108bandits are allowed in yanov station?I don't think so manfreedumb, dooty, stalkers sureare you sure you didnt piss off the wrong faction?
>>500015084I don't think they're allowed inside, and I don't remember attacking any other faction.
>>500014108If you didn't piss off the entire Bandit faction for them to turn hostile (I'm not sure it's possible in vanilla CoP), that's most likely one of the bandit squads that spawn every once in a while to hunt you after you get the Artefact Hunter achievement.I had the same issue with the mercs Morgan sends after you, try going away for some time and then coming back. If you're lucky, they'll respawn somewhere else on your way. >>500015084They are allowed there, yes. After some point in the game they start showing up around Jupiter and some may go to Yanov. They don't have any tables assigned to them, though, so when they show up they instead take some random places in the station and start doing weird poses.
>>500014108are you going in there at night? you need to wait for daytime for them to hopefully go elsewhere>>500015191they are, they just don't default to it like they do with the skadovsk
>>500015867I don't have this achievement. I took an old save (one hour of backtracking). The bandits are still here but neutral this time. I guess it's one of those mysterious X-ray engine moments.
are these ever gonna end
>>499976119anon been playing too much fallout
>>500014108I guess fuck off (go further than the vanilla switch distance of 150 meters) for a while, until they calm down and open up yanov again?either that or load a save before youpissed off that faction

>>499945557
>>499928759thank you my man, and about the note, i obviously read that otherwise i wouldn't have known where the approximate area was.now i gotta figure out what the fuck an "equipment graveyard" is, i think it's the flea market since the seeker's corpse was there.
>>500021371>equipment graveyardMost likely a direct translation of "клaдбищe тeхники", which is the Vehicle Graveyard.
>>499976663>>499976979>>499980898>>499982826S.T.A.L.K.E.R. = title of the series. An acronym, but without any official meaning behind it.Stalker = term for people who enter the Zone. Not an acronym. There are stalkers, but there are no STALKERs, because stalker =/= s.t.a.l.k.e.r.So >>499789885 is right, this term is not an acronym. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is, but referring to stalkers as STALKERs is wrong.
>>500014645huh, obviously the exoskeleton must have very low reliability, tedious maintenance and low efficiency
>>500022019fug, thought that by design the two stashes in garbage would be at the other ends of the map, thanks again dude, i don't remember the hint specifically but i'l see when i play again, hopefully it's less tedious than the bush one.
>>499575504Radiophobia bros, dumb question, but where's the guy the Seeker leader mentioned being in the opposite warehouse in Rostok? I've talked to every NPC I saw and couldn't find him. There was one guy who got mauled by cats, but he had a generic name so I don't think that was him.
>>500018083misery and its consequences have been a disaster on the sdalger))) race
liquid griga brought you sdalger on every mainline console in the span of a few monthsand now hes bringing us 2what does sg think of the new generation of pepsiman?
>>500031157Are you looking for dead bodies in Rostok? Look for dead guy blips on the minimapone is on the right just before entering "get out of here stalker" building if you come from Garbage. another is behind gates to the left from Wild territory entrance. for both you need to get boxes to get over the fence
>>500036806You can jump off the dirt pile onto a roof, then onto a wall to get to the wild territory guy, then jump on the truck to get back
>>500035891Feels like Mariia is calling the shots
>>500036806>>500040087Thanks, but in the dialogue he said there was a guy I can talk to in the opposite warehouse. I can't find that guy.
>>500043879the guy you're searching is mole, as soon as you exit from the place the seeker leader is go to the hangar on your left, tehre's a campfire with some stalkers, mole is in the corner.

Will there be any more STALKER 2 previews before release?The one we've had a few weeks ago seems extremely dishonest, same as the deep dive we had in august.Sorry about the doomposting but seeing unrelated 30-second gameplay clips while some journo keeps blabbering about how ">real and immersive, just like the originals!!!" is simply not enough.
>>499575504Playing SoC... am I supposed to be able to pick up items through locked cabinet/locker doors? Seems kinda lame. I can walk right up to the locked container and take the shit right out of it...
>>500066678you're not "supposed to" be able to, but you are able to. Its a bu that was never addressed
>>500066678how are you even supposed to open those legit? borov doesn't have a key or anything like that

>>500068863no, i've been pretty stalker addicted for the past year and a half, i just never thought soc had that level of intreaction so i never bothered since i just spammed f and it worked.
>>500020596anyone having trouble downloading this, just login to your google account, you might need to save to your drive first, but I didnt have to.>>500022058wrong.just because it is capitalized, doesn't make it an acronym, you DINGUS
>>500060627>>500047002gold, might have to try this cheers anonkeep fighting the good fight against brownslop
>>500082294hope you kick its ass anonget plenty of rest
>>500083448>S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a coded acronym, which we use to mark agents programmed for particular missions.in-game dialogue with the c-con representative. it is an acronym, but without any official meaning, and it doesn't refer to stalkers.
>>500084449read my post anon. READ IT.
>>500091160what's your point? sure, a capitalized word can simply be a capitalized word, not an acronym, but when someone writes STALKERs, it's obvious that they actually have S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s in mind and just don't write the dots.
>>500094604no.what was written was what was written, you want to interpret that as an acronym then turn around and say NUH HUH ITS NOT AN ACRONYM is just funny
I've just upgraded my setup with a 4080 Super, M2 SSD and a 1440p monitor before Stalker 2 releases so now it's guaranteed it will be shit.Sorry lads.Also QUICK, what's the best Vanilla+ mod for Shadow of Chernobyl RIGHT NOW?Mainly looking for visual updates, I played Autumn Aurora 2 already.
>>500081089you are a stronger and less retarded man than me anon
>>500060627That's really nice, I fucking love a green zone. I will use it on my R3 playthrough
>>500081089based responsibility enjoyer
>>500095915i genuinely don't know what the fuck are you talking about. stalker is not an acronym, s.t.a.l.k.e.r. is. when someone says STALKERs, it's obvious that they are thinking about the acronym, because otherwise, the last letter wouldn't be uncapitalized. they would write STALKERS if they would want to capitalize the word for any reason without implying that it's an acronym. and the whole argument started not because someone wrote STALKER/STALKERS, but STALKERs, which is a wrong thing to do.
>>500096781>what's the best Vanilla+ mod for Shadow of Chernobyl RIGHT NOW?Shadow's Addon, it's in the OP. Make sure to download the translation as well.
>>500097436i genuinely don't know what the fuck are you talking about.yeah, we know.

>>500096781You brave warrior, I don't have the balls to buy a 40 series now that 50s are this close to releaseStuck with a 3060ti for S2
>>500081089The Zone will wait, probably a little less buggy by the time you get here
>>500104967Was on a 1660 Super up until now and been holding out to upgrade since the 3000 series dropped so I eventually just thought fuck it, always something new around the corner anyway.
>>499575504is there a better mod for customizing guns and stuff in anomaly other this cumfart from pripyat?
>>500106330What's the top gun
>>500106072I would do the same in your place
>>500107242its an AK, its just modified with a bunch of crap. You can probably figure out what kind of AK by the receiver if you knew that kinda stuff.
>>500107242>>500109469Is it no a Zastava M76?
>>500109746yeah it looks just like one. had no idea those even existed.
How goes the STALKAN? (page 10 save)
>>500084449But it does have a direct meaning. It's something like Kaymanov Emitter research something something
>>499859890oh yeah I bet you do buddy.

would Operation Monolith have succeeded if Major Degtyarev was in command?
I am too poor I will not be able to run stalker 2. Whatevs
>>500128741yes
>>500131049Just try it anyways, no DRM means no fps lag and stutters from easyanticheat or denuvo.

Did you guys hear about the two new factions in S.T.A L.K.E.R. 2?2 nation states have been created Republic of Deebin and the Sugondese federation.The two countries are fighting hard to stop each other from reaching a lab containing the Ligma and Sugma Viruses.

>>499950959>>500173018Oh, and one I forgot until I hit "post":>horrendously programmedI'll use a soup mod as an example.>get quest to kill military man>go fight him and his crew>don't fail the mission, but fail to complete it and get softlockedWhy? Because I shot and wounded him, but the killing blow was delivered by something else. The scripting doesn't count quest completion unless you get the killing shot, which is very difficult considering he and his group are also fighting enemy combatants, and it doesn't count quest failure if you don't get the killing blow so there's no real way to tell if he's still alive or if you've gotten fucked. It was something in the stalkersoup pack from an eternity ago, don't remember further specifics.
>>500173279Whatever happened to STALKERSOUP anyway
>>500174581If this forum post linked on technobacon's website is any indication, it's still being worked on. The mega download link on his website comes up with a takedown message for some reason, and everything on moddb is outdated, so who's to say for sure?
Would a rare artifact that lets you activate bullet time on a cooldown be cool or too strong?Post your artifact ideas
>>500106330>308 AK>5.45 AK>7.62 AK>another 5.45 AK with weirdly curved magfor what purpose?
>>500180094An artifact that lets you jump higher would be cool. I think OP already did that.

Is Goldsphere just completely fucked in terms of gear balance? Some guns have ridiculous damage modifiers like 0.22 making them completely ineffective. And those are just the standard guns, not the anomalous variants.
>>500225005You should use a shotgun for like 80% of goldsphere desu. Combat isn't the main focus and shotguns wreck just about anything.
>>500225937Kinda weird that the gun showers you in unique guns. The only shotgun that I found worth using was the scoped over-under. The rest has shit mag size or doesn't deal enough damage because of the aforementioned modifiers.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-exception-translatedlooks neat
>>500231851there are enough ruskis and vodkarune readers here that the fact that I have never once heard of this mod before probably means it's garbage
So I never started COP besides a bit of the start. Is IWP the best mod for it now? Gunslinger is never getting completed last time I checked.
>>500235371IWP has nothing to do with CoP, because CoC is not CoP and barely even qualifies as a CoP mod.
>>500224042>reggash did a post going over thisYou say that like I'm supposed to know who this faggot is

>>500239031Pirating it first in case it fucking blows. I am handling the wait by not really caring, I don't even know when it comes out because it's just a video game.I jerked off three times in one day last week though, that kept me busy.
>>500239031Today I played with a STALKER themed ai chatbot except every stalker was a big tiddy furry anthro girl due to zone.sid was a fox girl I don't know how I feel about life now but I think I've taken permanent psy damage
>>500246404This wouldn't have happened if IRL had a psy resistance meter

Guides are a bullshit that ignores alife NPCs that in any case would have met you along the wayAuthentic fast travel in stalkan is a teleport artifact. either as a consumable (spent when used), or with a cooldown - teleport only once per N hours. Although endless artifact, like in terraria, is also suitable - almost from the beginning of the game you find an artifact that teleports you to the location of your chosen place, then appears artifact based mechanisms that allow you to teleport between stalker bases, like rockie village/bar/scientist camp/yanov/zaton
2D UI - HUD, crosshair, 2D PDA, easily become immersive/diegetic if you justify them through AR glasses. This fits in perfectly with the original stalkan since there are already gauss and exoskeleton. Moreover, you can make a progression - at hobo phase you use a PDA, so you don't have any HUD, you have to get out a 3D PDA to look at map, remember the number of rounds in the magazine, read the state of health and stamina by the sounds of the player, aim with physical crosshair. Then in the middle of the game you buy AR glasses from sakharov and all this is displayed on the HUD, 3D PDA is replaced by a 2D PDA, physically aiming by zoom with 2D crosshairMoreover, even 2d inventory with cells and instant use of consumables can be made dietetical with this, you need to come up with special nanorobots that receive signals from the brain and physically control the loot in your backpack - throw it out, unload weapons, etc. Without hands and unpacking backpack animation. Autonomous life support system that receives signals from the brain and itself injects you with the necessary drug without the need for hand animation. If this is done only through artifacts - it will look more fantasy, if this is done through a mechanism created thanks to the development of science because of artifacts and anomalies - this is still science fiction.in general, people who consider such things as animations of consumables/flashlight/picking up item/backpack, magazine loading, minimalistic UI and other survival militarism, without which they allegedly cannot imagine stalker in 2024, to be the FOUNDATION and BASE - are just retards without imagination
realistic shootouts with no room for mistake is a boring bullshit that requires nothing but your spinal cord. this degenerative shit was invented in stalker modding by military-survival obsessed people who hate idea of anomalies/artifacts/zone and just need singleplayer arma/dayz. stalker has artifacts, they can justify endless running at 20 km/h and the ability to survive three hits from an rpg7 without any questions. like supposedly anomalous energy creates a protective kinetic shield/accelerates metabolism a hundred times/generates an antigravity field in the area of bones and muscles, and with this you can make and completely justify shootouts like in doom/quake/tf2, where positioning, spinning around the enemy at high speed and constantly running into the rear are more decisive. when you and the enemy need to put at least thirty bullets into each other, not three, your spinal cord will no longer help you out, you now need to look for advantageous positions
What the fuck is going on in this thread
attempting to play shadows addon, i get this after extracting the 0.8.9 files into my steam SoC folder. At first i thought it was because i hadnt launched SoC before adding shadows, so i fully deleted my SoC folder, reinstalled, ran once, same problem.
Fellow stalkers should I in vanilla anomaly go Nosrog duty exosuit + LMG?Would I become a tank just blasting everything?I've never used the LMG even in the vanilla trilogy since in CS I went freedom exosuit + SVD

According to the study, G.A.M.M.A players spend 3694% more time while managing in-game inventory compared to the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat. The study used neural network analysis of the 5000 hours compilation of YouTube and Twitch playthroughs.

>>500274974>custom level>lighting looks like shitWas this copied from some other game with an engine that made the lighting actually look reasonable?
>>500254214>>500255498>>500256429I've had similar thoughts before, but I think these would appeal *mostly* to people who like Receiver, who have a lot but not total crossover with the milnerds you mention.I'd play it, but I think heavy imsim gameplay has a relatively limited audience.
